Environmental Conservation Project

Want to get outside the city life combining your travel with giving back and helping make the world a better place? Conservation of environment through FDIP programs can be an opportunity you are looking for.

Global warming and environmental degradation is serious issue in both developing and underdeveloped countries. In Nepal environment is degraded and natural resources are depleted because of illiteracy and lack of alternative resources. In such scenarios volunteers can play their vital role in spreading environmental awareness and also can participate in natural resource conservation programs.

Being a Volunteer FDIP you can bring some change by implementing environmental friendly initiatives in Nepal. It can be coordinating environment conservation awareness programs, participating in implantation, water/soil/air protection campaigns. Energy crisis is also a big issue in Nepal and people are not aware of the alternative energy sources like solar energy, bio gas and wind energy, as a volunteer of environmental issue, you will inspire people to think about these alternate resources. You will be helping with pollution reduction and sewage management programs. You will be encouraging people to save energy, use environmental friendly products, use the technique of Recycling & Reusing the Products.
